With Maven 1 I was able to create a Macintosh application using Ant tasks in my maven.xml. A Macintosh application is particular directory structure that is blessed by setting an attribute on the directory. I've been able to duplicate everything in Maven2 except for the copying of the dependent jars to the correct location.

In Maven 1 I used the <deploy:copy-deps> tag. In Maven 2 I've been trying to use the dependency plugin. If I follow the examples on the web site, I get an error

The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugin:maven-dependency-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found

And I try to use the refactored plugin I get a similar error.

The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugin:dependency-maven-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found

Is there a working dependency plugin that I can use?

In the long term, I anticipate creating a MOJO to do this. If I create a MOJO, where do I find the necessary Java API documentation. Should I grab the Maven2 sources and start reading or is there a site with the Javadocs available?
